SEATTLE — The Seattle Police Department says that officers arrested a man after he threatened to assault guests at a North Seattle hotel.

Police say hotel workers called 911 at around 8:30 p.m. last Thursday to report a guest threatening to assault other guests in a neighboring unit because they were talking to him through the wall.

When police arrived, they found that the neighboring unit was unoccupied, and no one had been talking through the walls.

Police also found that the man was a suspect in a burglary that happened a couple of days prior.

As police tried to remove him from the hotel property, he assaulted one of the officers.

After being cleared by Harborview Medical Center, the suspect was arrested and booked for burglary, malicious mischief, and assault.
